Baku. Farid Mirzayev – APA. “A new voting is needed in Turkey now. It will most likely happen because there is no chance to form a coalition government. I prefer to go to early election with the decision of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey,” Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told a press conference following his meeting with the CHP leader, APA reports citing Turkey’s NTV television channel.

The prime minister said there is no fertile ground to form a coalition government with the CHP.

“Our negotiations with the CHP will have an important place for the two political parties in Turkey’s history of democracy. I thank Kilicdaroglu for their polite compliance with the rules. The meetings were open and transparent. As two parties with varying political ways, we are well known to have deep differences of opinion, basically those with regard to foreign policy and education. We made a proposal to the CHP for a reformist government to be formed and not to leave the country without a government prior to the election. Now there is no chance to form a coalition government with the CHP”, said the prime minister.

Ahmet Davutoglu did not rule out a new meeting with MHP leader Devlet Bahceli.

“This is a natural right of ours. After meeting with Bahceli, we might need to have consultations with the president. We will continue to negotiate to form a coalition government and not to leave the country without a government. At a time election is needed again, political dialogue must be continued,” said Ahmet Davutoglu.
